So I have a daughter who has Edinburgh high on her list of possible universities. We're in Scotland, so the choice for her is limited (if she doesn't want to pay English uni fees).
She is questioning her sexuality, and my fear is that she would gravitate towards the LGBT group and would very soon come to believe herself a man or perhaps more likely non-binary, and start the transition process. I've read about that group on another thread on here, and it seems to be very extreme, as does the university generally. My DD, despite my best efforts, is currently sympathetic to trans beliefs, and that can only get worse I think.
Should I try to dissuade her from Edinburgh? And if so, then how?! Does it really make much difference which university you go to, or are they all going down the same path, so that in a while there'll be no real difference between them?
I hate to think that going to university could end up wrecking her future.
What's happening in other families?
